Simple "create module" wizard for Builder

Robert_Davies_(unlondonadmin_-_(deleted))

Hi folks.While I was on the SDK course I knocked up a quick wizard for creating a module outline in builder.The attached file when installed gives you an option that creates a new module with directory structure and modifies the opentext.ini file to add the required lines.I hope someone may find it useful.Best regards/matt.p.s. Install it by putting it in your LLHOME/scripts directory. It will appear on the "tools" menu in builder.p.p.s. It doesn't backup opentext.ini because I couldn't master the copy function. Maybe someone can ammend it? In the mean time make a backup copy by hand before you start using it.

i think this is great and will give it a try. I am one of the affinity partners and my company's name is IntrNetMethods. our wesite is www.intrnetmethods.comwe currently have a new product called iBuilder and it performs most all of functions of Builder but is fully web enabled so you don't need NT ( or a copy of builder) . It has all of the API's, constants etc on line and many other features. It to has a module wizard integrated into it. if you would like more product info on ibuilder or any of our modules drop me a line at GlennW@intrnetmethods.com

Hi folks.This is another wizard that was given to me by someone in OTC and I thought I would post so that everyone could get the benefit.It's a lot cleverer than mine: it creates the Configure and WebModule objects, and orphans some useful stuff.Recommended.Best regards/matt.

I'm planning to support this script. So if you have any enhancements you can send them to me. I'll keep the script in my scripts directory (http://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/livelink?func=ll&objId=1776647&objAction=browse&sort=name).

FYI,The credit for the creation of the MakeNewModule.lxe script goes to two people. One being myself and the other to Martin Scott who actually coded the script.We are both ex-OT Professional Services Consultants who sat down one day and decided that having to plug through the Module Installation Guide was Moronic to say the least and just wanted a simple way to create a quick module template.I specifically argued for the additional base objects to be stubbed in. Such as the WebNodeCmd, etc. So that even if you don't need them, they are there waiting for you if needed. Kind of like buying a car without A/C, but the brackets are already installed so that it's just a matter of installing the actual components. Since they are just references, they are cheap and don't cause any real overhead.To use the script, just place it in the /scripts sub-directory and start your Builder. It will show up in the Tools menu. Answer a few simple questions and restart your Builder to use your new module.Also, if you are developing and don't like to have to constantly unlock your Module every time you restart your Builder, you can simply add your modules name to the changeStateOspaces = {} list in the function definitions. Just make sure that it is fully CAPITALIZED, otherwise it won't work.e.g. function WebBuilder( \ List changeStateOspaces = {'MYMODULE'}, \ // If default state is locked, unlocked or vice versa...Oh, and uh... You're welcome. Blah, blah, blah...Sincerely,David BarkerEx-OT PS Consultant
